This 1999 BMW M3 was ordered new by the seller from Fields BMW in Northfield, Illinois and shows approximately 98k miles. The car is finished in Alpine White over black leather and powered by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. Factory equipment includes heated seats, an onboard computer, a sunroof, and Harman Kardon sound system. The water pump, coolant reservoir, brake fluid, and spark plugs were replaced in March 2017 at 95k miles. This E36 M3 is offered with a clean Carfax report, service records, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in Alpine White and retains US-spec amber turn signals and side markers. The driver-side fender was repainted to alleviate a dent according to the seller. The driver-side door is scratched and dinged, and the headlight covers are faded. The door handle gaskets and trim were reportedly replaced in 2012 along with the windshield gasket, cowl, and rain gutters.

The seller reportedly specified options through the BMW Individual program. The car rides on Style 23 M Contour wheels, and a new right front wheel bearing is said to have been fitted in 2012. Alterations include window tint all around.

The interior is trimmed in Black Nappa leather with aftermarket wood panels on the center console, doors, and dash. Equipment includes manually-adjustable heated “Vader” sport seats, Harman Kardon audio, an onboard computer, and M-branded floor mats. The armrest was reupholstered and the door and window seals were replaced between 2012-2014. The seller notes a sagging headliner around the sunroof as well as an inoperable passenger-side window. The digital odometer displays 99k miles.

The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six was rated at 240 horsepower for the US market and sends power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox and a factory limited-slip differential.

The Carfax report indicates no accidents or other damage through March 2018. The seller notes a discrepancy in the number of owners which is said to have resulted from a move from Chicago to Florida.
